thought for the week
Do you sleep when the wind blows?
A handsome young man applied for a job as
a farmhand. When the old farmer asked for
his qualifications, he replied with an air of
confidence “I can sleep when the wind blows.”
The statement puzzled the farmer. But he
liked the pleasant looking young man
nevertheless and hired him.

“Christ Centered,
Commitment”
and
Consistency
Luke 14:25-33
A few days later, the old farmer and his wife
were rudely awakened in the night by a violent
storm. They quickly began to check things
out to see if all was secure. They found that
the shutters of the farmhouse had been
securely fastened. A good supply of logs had
been set next to the fireplace. The farm
tools had been placed neatly in the storage
shed, safe from the elements. The tractor
had been moved into the garage. The barn
was properly locked. Even the animals were
calm. The young man slept soundly. All was
well. The farmer then understood the meaning
of the young man’s words, “I can sleep
when the wind blows.”
Because the farmhand did his work loyally
and faithfully when the skies were clear, he
was prepared for the storm when it broke
loose. So when the wind blew, he was fearless.
He slept in peace.
How does this apply to our lives?
In Time, it isn’t the things you do, but the
things you leave undone, which give you a
heartache at the setting of the sun.
